That depends what sort of rhyming you mean, there are various kinds. I know the 'nge' end sound can be rhymed.

yes, but to say the word "orange" and come up with a like sounding word is difficult, really... Like the word "range" last 4 letters are the same, but diff pronounciation...

orange has a kind of sound all its own. Seriously, carefully compare some words that you feel rhyme with orange and let me know. I'm not an expert, just going by what I've read before...

When ever I try to compare, everything that I can come up with is slightly different...

No, there aren't any words that rhyme with orange... you can use pararhymes though, like Florence.

Just went to a site called "Hip Hop Flocabulary" and copied the following:

There are many words that have no rhyme in the English language. "Orange" is only the most famous. Other words that have no rhyme include:
silver, purple, month, ninth, pint, wolf,
opus, dangerous, marathon, and discombobulate.

But just because these words have no 'perfect rhyme' doesn't mean we can't rhyme with them. Using slant rhyme, we can rhyme with these words anyway. To add anything to the list, post it to our boards or email escher@flocabulary.com

Words with No Rhyme? We Rhyme 'em anyway.

orange - lozenge, boring, forage, porridge, door-hinge, score bench
silver - filter, shiver, filler, deliver, liver
purple - Steve Urkel, whirlpool, urinal, hurtful, circles
month - dunce, hunts, moth, runt
ninth - mine, lines, absinth, labyrinth
pint - ain't, paint, might
wolf - gulf, fur, enough, dull
opus - flow this, rope is, Lupus, lotus, bogus, psychosis
dangerous - major risk, plagerist , cameras, game to us, spontaneous
marathon - care what's on, dandruff song, Dara's wrong, Santa's gone, paragon
prepare a song thats rare and strong to keep these cats from staring long
discombobulate - the disco they love to hate, Crisco ovulate, risky even on a date, Sisqo's rollerblades


NOTE!
I think that some of these examples are a bit off the mark... (no pun intended, OTM)

(an inadvertant link was posted in here also, sorry)

haha, thanks Husky. Perhaps you can make every word have a rhyme!!!

Oh, and in case you didn't get it... my poem wasn't actually supposed to be very good. I'm awful at them.

Orange?

Why? They rhyme, don't they?

Not really. The stress of the syllables is different. Pretty close though.

I like "door hinge"...

or binge!!! yeah, baby...booz...
Oh wait, this isn't the drink thread, is it.... NM



EDIT:

All very close, but I tried to use them in a poem and it just didn't quite make it... words can be mis-pronounced to make them fit with other words, but both writer and reader have to be on the same wavelength...

EDIT EDIT:

This is part of the quote from Hip Hop Flocabulary...

But just because these words have no 'perfect rhyme' doesn't mean we can't rhyme with them. Using slant rhyme, we can rhyme with these words anyway.

I think that the key here is perfect rhythym .

Innocent????


sigh, ok, you're innocent....


Kiki claims her innocence,
For us, too believe.
Hard for me, in a sense,
This ide-a to conceive.

Cat is of a nature,
A sly, and sneaky pet.
Creeping always round about
Pouncing, ready, set!

Hiding ever in the dark
To catch us unawares
Grabs the ankle, biting on
As we're climbing up the stairs

Dog is here, to protect
And able for to serve.
The cat upon a platter, neat.
Now THAT does take some nerve.

Woof? (snicker, hee hee hee)

WHAT?! Now you're the second person that dislikes cats that I've heard of in the past two days.. not fair! Cats aren't that sneaky... and which would you rather meet in a dark alley, huh, huh? A stray dog (with larger teeth) or a stray cat that will probably leave you alone? Hmmm?
